I was wondering about this too, so I set up a DNS server for the local
domain. Access time has improved somewhat. I also noticed that the
connection is very rapid but the login prompt takes some time to come
especially during the day. At night it is very fast. So probably in this
case it is due to an overloaded server (overloaded by mail, proxy, httpd,
telnet, ftp). Access time is almost instantaneous for all other machines
in the domain most of which don't have hosts entries even for the DNS (ie
only has resolv.conf entry).
